Reopening of Shek O Road
************************
     Shek O Road, which was temporarily closed yesterday (September 8) due to a landslide and road subsidence, was reopened to light vehicles this evening (September 9) after emergency repairs.
 
     "One lane of Shek O Road was reopened to light vehicles around 9pm tonight after the Highways Department and the Civil Engineering and Development Department carried out repairing works there to fix the damaged road surface caused by the landslide. As some sections of the road are being converted into one-lane-two-way traffic, motorists are advised to pay careful attention to traffic directions at the scene," a government spokesman said.
 
     The Highways Department will continue with the emergency repairing works. After confirming the safety of the road, the department will endeavour to allow single-deck buses to pass through the road at 6am tomorrow (September 10), so that residents can get in and out of Shek O.
